The Museum has developed middle and high school classroom guides, a virtual field trip and student webinars, and in-person and web-based professional development workshops to help you learn and teach about African American Experiences in World War II.

Each classroom guide includes an introductory essay and brief biographical profiles of prominent wartime African Americans along with three primary-source based lesson plans. These lesson plans align with Common Core and National Center for History in the Schools standards, and you can imple­ment them either as a unit or individually.

The National WWII Museum tells the story of the American Experience in the war that changed the world — why it was fought, how it was won, and what it means today — so that all generations will understand the price of freedom and be inspired by what they learn.
